SekriT Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 There are many synchronization folders named _gsdata_ spread around my server. Is there a way to tell Drivepool not to duplicate these folders rather than finding each one of them and disabling the duplication? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Through the UI? No, there isn't a good way, but I've added a feature request for it. However, it may be possible to script it. Specifically, any 2.1 or higher versions of StableBit DrivePool come with a "dpcmd" utility, that can be used to set the duplication level. For instance: "dpcmd set-duplication s:\path\to\folder\_gsdata_ 1" This disables duplication on the "s:\path\to\folder\_gsdata_" folder on the pool.

0 SekriT Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Thanks for requesting it. You can call this "Exclude files/folders from duplication" option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Well, I'll let Alex (the developer) name it, if we do include the feature. But definitely requested, here: https://stablebit.com/Admin/IssueAnalysis/21848 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks for requesting it. You can call this "Exclude files/folders from duplication" option. Alex has implemented this in the newest beta version of StableBit DrivePool. * [issue #21848] Rewrote dpcmd.exe to accommodate for a more structured command module layout and added a bunch of new commands (requires command prompt with Administrative rights). - Added: - ignore-poolpart - Immediately disconnects a pool part from the pool and prevents it from participating in future pools by placing an ignore tag on it. - refresh-all-poolparts - Forces the re-enumeration of all the pool parts and pools. - remeasure-pool - Recomputes a pool's file usage statistics. - set-duplication-recursive - Recursively sets the duplication count on one or more folders on the pool matching a pattern (regex or file pattern). - unignore-poolpart - Removes the ignore tag from a pool part, and re-adds it to the pool. You can run "dpcmd set-duplication-recursive" to see the examples for how to do this. C:\Users\Administrator>dpcmd set-duplication-recursive e:\ 1 *Sys* dpcmd - StableBit DrivePool command line interface Version 2.2.0.654 Setting duplication count recursively to 1 on '\\?\e:\': Matching folder pattern '*SYS*': Duplication count set to 1 on '\\?\e:\SysinternalsSuite\'. C:\Users\Administrator>dpcmd set-duplication-recursive e:\ 1 /.*Sys.*/ dpcmd - StableBit DrivePool command line interface Version 2.2.0.654 Setting duplication count recursively to 1 on '\\?\e:\': Matching regular expression pattern '.*Sys.*': Duplication count set to 1 on '\\?\e:\SysinternalsSuite\'. Setting the "Duplication Count" to "1" disables duplication, setting it to "2" enables it, and setting to higher, sets it to a higher level of duplication. Additionally, you can see the other commands that we've added above. You can find the download links here: http://dl.covecube.com/DrivePoolWindows/beta/download/ Grab the 655 or 656 beta build.
